Letter K - 3D nursery decor tutorial

Hi to all mixed media friends!

Please meet my daughter Karolina. This time I made an interior letter decoration for her bedroom and shot a tutorial for you.

I bought this 3D cardstock letter "K" in a hobby shop, and decided to decorate it in a cheerful but tender style. Of course, the letter is very pink :) Karolina is a real princess, and is going through a pink phase now. Everything is pink in her room, so this decorative letter is not exception.

First, I primed the brown cardstock with heavy white gesso, which created a nice base for the future color invasions. When the gesso layer was dry, I colored the letter with a mix of metallic paint and mica powder. Such mixture left the beautiful colored surface with a hint of mother-of-pearl shine.

Then, I applied some texture paste through the stencil on the front side, and left some texture paste traces on all the other angles of the letter. I glued on some plastic figurines, diamond art pebbles, Prima Marketing flowers and the picture of my daughter of course. The latter is places within a beautiful chipboard frame. The frame and all the embellishments are touched up with my favourite Sparks paint - Unicorn Hair.

I also added some minor details like pink plastic beads and glitter as final decoration.
